Re: Video of Children Dancing on BBC

March 15, 2006, 10:47 a.m. (Message 44719, in reply to message 44716)

700 children representing 40 Primary Schools from Glasgow, dancing their 
hearts out for nearly 3 hours in the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow.

This event was organise by the Glasgow Primary Physical Education Team in 
partnership with RSCDS Glasgow Branch.  The event commenced with a grand 
march of the school banners lead by two pipers who were virtually drowned 
out ( a first! ) by the cheers as each school entered the hall.
 Christine Watson, Primary PE Manager , Glasgow City and Stewart Adam, RSCDS 
Chairman opened the proceedings. John Renton's 5 piece band kept the dancers 
on their toes with Les Lambert acting as MC.
It was a pleasure to be invited  and share in the enjoyment of all these 
young dancers, many of whom had only been dancing for a few months.

Congratulations to all the organisers and teachers but especially the 
weans.  ( or children for the non Glasgow folk!)

This is one of many such festivals in Scotland that is keeping our rational 
Scottish Country dancing alive and jigging.

RSCDS Youth Director
